Travelling on buses across the Forth Valley is to become more expensive.
From today, fares are to rise on First Bus services by an average of 5.7%.
The hike in prices is due to inflation.
The company says it's an "essential" change - and have assured passengers that no fare will rise by more than 7%.
Duncan Cameron, Managing Director of First Bus Scotland said: “The new pricing creates a simpler, fairer and more flexible choice of tickets. So whether you only travel on weekends, or are a ‘new normal’ commuter, our new tickets options reflect today’s real-world travel.
“These changes are essential to allow us to continue to deliver services across Falkirk and Stirlingshire for our customers. We have worked hard to keep any fare increases to a minimum – ensuring that no increase surpasses Consumer Price Inflation - and continue to offer customers the cheapest fares via the First Bus App.
“There’s never been a better time to make bus travel part of your everyday routine and we are confident that with these changes, we’ll see people in the local area choose bus over car as their preferred mode of travel, benefitting both the environment and their pockets.”
